עֵת followed by Makk. עֶת with suff. עִתִּי, pl. עִתִּים and עִתּוֹת (contr. from עֶדֶת, from the masc. עַד, root עָדָה, compare לַת for לֶדֶת), fem. (Joshua 11:6; Jeremiah 51:33 but masc. Song of Solomon 2:12 from the true derivation of the word having often been overlooked even by the ancients, Lehrg. 474) time. Specially

Ecclesiastes 10:17, “O happy land, whose princes כָּעֵת יאֹכֵלוּ take food at the proper time.” לֹא עֵת before the (proper) time, prematurely, Job 22:16. With suff. בְּעִתּוֹ in its time, Proverbs 15:23; Ecclesiastes 3:11 בְּעִתָּהּ Isaiah 60:22.

(b) a certain time, as having a limit, opposed to eternity. Ecclesiastes 3:1, 17, עֵת לְכָל חֵפֶץ “to every thing there is a time”, it lasts but for a time, nothing is perpetual; compare Ecclesiastes 8:6.

(c) a longer time, acc. עֵת long, Hosea 13:13 Arabic زَمَانًا id.

(d) a happy time, happiness, Psalms 81:16. More often in a bad sense

(b) בְּכָל־עֵת at every time, every season, Psalms 10:5, 34:2 62:9 בָּעֵת הַהוּא at this time, Deuteronomy 1:9.

(c) לְעֵת עֶרֶב at the time of evening, at evening, Genesis 8:11 also in acc. עֵת at (this) time, zur Zeit, i.e. now, i.q. עַתָּה, Ezekiel 27:34. LXX. νῦν. Vulg. nunc.
